Indian-origin American actor Mindy Kaling has revealed that her "The Office" co-star and good friend BJ Novak is the godfather to her daughter Katherine.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping, the actor said that Novak was more like a family to her.

"If I was on the outside looking at it, I would think the same thing. But the truth is that B.J. is so much more like family now than a platonic friend. He's the godfather to my daughter, he comes over like once a week. Sometimes he'll come over just to hang out with her. It's a real staple in my household.

 

''In the 'When Harry Met Sally' version of platonic friends, I too think that's strange. But when you've known someone for as long as I've known him - the time that we met each other, which was like 24. Now, we're both almost 40. It's such a long time that he truly is just a part of my family," Kaling said.

Katherine was born on December 15, 2017.
